If you’re looking for local coverage, here are just a few examples from last week’s Lede:

· In our Sunday Q&A (today) Josh Johnson, director of Development Services for Jefferson County talked about how the county’s future is tied to decisions we make now about transit.

· In her latest towing horror story, the Lede’s Heather Gann reported how a Birmingham woman did everything right only to find the system failing her at every level.

· In a related story, Gann told you the five things you need to know about Birmingham’s long-awaited new towing ordinances.

· Did you get in on the Lede College Football Picks contest? It’s every Friday!

· In an installment in the Lede’s look at crumbling infrastructure, Gann listened to readers who are vexed at Birmingham’s cracking Southside sidewalks.

Every day in the Lede there’s a lot more local news, as well as state, national and world events worth reading about. And each edition has a page designed to tell you how to navigate The Lede. It even has a cool YouTube video.

We’re working to make the Lede better every day and we want your input. Suggestions? Constructive criticism? Stories you’d like to see? Questions about your community? Something for us to look into that will make your life better? Send me a note at [email protected].
